  1. Who stole Urquidy's uniform that inning?
  2. Except for the fact his clockwise swing will generate an anticyclone strong enough to reverse the wind and push any area storm systems into Ontario.
  3. Ball probably won't travel as far in the cooler air. So I see Yordan's HRs topping out at roughly 430 feet.
  4. The way we looked for long stretches of the season after a dominant title run in 2022, I feel like we're now playing with house money. Let's put the Twins up for adoption and see what happens against Little Brother.
  5. The Astros are our team, regardless of who's on the field. We all just want the highest probability of winning. We can quibble over lineups and moves, as we always have and always will. That's at the core of fandom. But the goal always is to shower in champagne. Someone has to win it, so that might as well be Houston...again.
  6. Dominating performance. A far cry from most of the regular season, for sure. We're playing at a level I really didn't think we'd see again this year. The box score makes it seem we never were seriously challenged today, but there obviously were some nervous moments. All those walks were the main reason. Bregman's HR I felt was a big boost, despite it coming at 4-0.
  7. Lots of Slavic concern in the stands
  8. Despite the score, we're doing a fair bit of that. But the Bregman HR was big.
  9. They took away 44's first hit. Apparently they expect every 1B to be Trey Mancini.
  10. The booth so desperately wants a big inning here.
  11. Javier getting 5 Ks on 29 pitches can only mean some hidden Astros employee who's stealing signs in the outfield is also shining a laser in Twins batters' eyes.
  12. Twins strike out: shadows are tough Astros strike out: Gray is awesome
  13. Walked Bregman after the first four pitches to Altuve were all out of the zone...but two of them were called strikes. Of course, not really worth mentioning by the Lopez groupies in the booth.
  14. Simply dominated so far. Credit to Lopez for getting it done in a tough situation. Hopefully he'll be exhausted in his next start after that interview.
  15. A photo I wish I hadn't been able to snap:
  16. Any pitch an inch outside is a ball. So is any strike at the knees.
  17. They're out-pitching and out-hitting us so far. Aside from that, I see no real problem. I do think we have a multi-run inning in us tonight. Just need to keep Minny at 3 so it will matter.
  18. Probably. With this franchise, a home winning streak in October is a lot to ask for. But maybe we can defy the odds and scratch out a W.
  19. Bigger Saturday TOOTBLAN: Gunnar Henderson's misread "steal" sign or Abreu's failed saunter into second? Two very different fails, yet both spectacularly stupid.
  20. First pitch to his team is what Altuve has proved a master of clubbing. I've never seen anything like it.
  21. October is now part of Houston's regular season.
